Health Considerations and Industry Standpoints While industry advocates assert PVA’s safety, a growing body of research raises concerns about its potential impacts on human health and ecosystems. PVA’s purportedly safe breakdown products may still carry risks due to incomplete biodegradation, resulting in microplastics and other residuals in wastewater treatment processes ([1]). Biodegradability and the...

Plastic pollution has become an omnipresent environmental issue, and microplastics, tiny particles less than 5mm in diameter, are at the forefront of this crisis. These particles, originating from the breakdown of larger plastic debris and everyday products like cosmetics and synthetic clothing, have infiltrated our bodies of water, food supply, and even the air...
